Quietly getting on improving things. You won't see this covered in 90% of the press.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

During times like these, I really miss the perspective of Christopher Hitchins

Just been listening to an evening of music by Prefab Sprout. Beginning to think that Paddy McAloon is perhaps Britains greatest song writer.

I miss the Landscape channel. There, I’ve said it. It was my go to channel after a few drinks, late on a Friday night

I’m sure “DOGE” will be all over this.. truthout.org/articles/tes...

Wonderful 1950 letter in which J. Robert Oppenheimer very patiently explains to Eleanor Roosevelt that flying saucers do not exist--and tells a funny story about human fallibility, and how all the Los Alamos scientists tried to get the local Air Force base to shoot down a UFO.

Feeling very sorry for the ai company today who had their code stolen

If Viktor Orban really blocks European sanctions at a key moment for the war, it’ll be absolutely clear that in this big game for the security and future of Europe, he is playing in Putin’s team, not in ours. With all the consequences of this fact.

The Venn diagram of people who voted Brexit because ‘sovereignty’ and people who are now cheering on unelected billionaire Elon Musk’s interference in our politics is, I suspect, almost a perfect circle. Had a bit of an exasperated rant about this last night on @lbc.co.uk ….

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s proposal to change the name of the Gulf of Mexico by pointing to a 17th century map of greater Mexico and suggesting a new name for the US. “We are going to call it América Mexicana. It sounds pretty, no?” Trump is a global laughingstock. 🤣

Trump wanting Greenland because he doesn’t understand the Mercator projection…we live in the dumbest possible timeline.

Nigel Farage a c*nt at a hunt.

The next time that this prick calls anyone else the establishment, remember this picture.

A nightmare for who?

Day one of break and am intervening in DV case to keep a woman safe for the holidays. Christmas can be incredibly tough on some people. Massive thanks to all those in specialist women sector and police and health working over Christmas to keep people safe.

I am right in thinking everyone wants to Rejoin the EU aren't I? Like if you do RP if you really do

NASA’s space shuttle is the same age today as RAF Spitfires were when it first launched in 1981 🤯 Our new podcast #16sunsets, all about how the space shuttle came to be, is here: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/1...

I was really hoping we'd have a woman as president before we had one from South Africa, but here we are.

Tbilisi, Day 18, 7pm Here they come again. The people of Georgia refusing to bow to regime repression. Early today, the election monitors who oversaw the October election marched through the capital demanding fresh elections. #GeorgiaProtests 🇬🇪🇪🇺 (🎥Credit: Publika)

Economy shrank by 0.1% in October. It is that Elephant called Brexit. Rejoin the Single Market and growth will be 4-5% for the next decade.

When I left X, I left 260000ish followers who cared about the NHS. This is bad because the NHS is in a state of emergency and EveryDoctor has just launched an important petition. If you can see this, please could you follow me and share this? 🤞💙🚨

The events in Syria have made the world realise once again, or at least they should, that even the most cruel regime may fall and that Russia and its allies can be defeated.

Criticises Obama for not getting involved then says we shouldn't get involved. What a moron

Nigel Farage isn't the answer to our problems, Britain. He is the cause of them. Until my country can work that very simple puzzle out we are doomed. #bbcqt

NEW: I've just been passed this excellent article from the Papua New Guinea Courier's London correspondent.

Not forgetting that Vauxhall warned 18 months ago that the plant may have to close unless Brexit was reversed. Guess what?

City fans. It's time.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter ‘the fall of the Broman Empire’ and I died laughing. 💀

I was also going to chat to Jeremy Clarkson, then I suddenly remembered that I'd rather lick piss off a nettle.

🚜🙄 Month after month we fought to stop Brexit. No farmers joined us Most voted for Brexit ~ lured by the prospect of more money/ laxer rules Rich nobs like Clarkson, Dyson, hoovered up land to offset against tax The enemy is Johnson/the supermarkets/ the FTAs with Australia. Not Starmer #farmers
